Nia is trying to decide between two possible jobs. Job A pays $2000 a month with a 2% annual raise. Job B pays 24,000 a year with a $500 annual raise. Write a function to represent the annual salary for Job A after x years. Write a function to represent the annual salary for Job B after x years. After how many years would Nia have a greater salary at Job A?

Nia Job A salary at time t: S(t)
$2,000 per month equals $24,000 per year.
So we have S(t) = 24,000(1.o2)^t

Nia Job B salary at time t: S(t)
$24,000 per year.
So we have S(t) = 24,000 + 500t

We want to know t when Job A salary is greater than Job B Salary:
24,000(1.o2)^t > 24,000 + 500t
